Guest Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Does anyone allow students to take photos of children whilst on work placement - with parents permission of course. I haven't up to now, but have had a recent request and wondered what others do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finleysmaid Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 i allow them to take photos of activities and i have allowed pictures of the children as long as they are not recognisable....most colleges do not now allow photos of children to be used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louby loo Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 When I was a student (ok- quite a long time ago!!) we were not allowed to have photos of children included in our work- only photos of displays etc. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynned55 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 All the students we have had the last few years have been told photos are a complete no no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't up to now, but have had a recent request and wondered what others do. In a word - no....... Has the student explained why he/she wants to do this? I don't think that this is something I would want to happen in my setting....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsbat Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 We have also allowed students to take photos of an activity and only as much as the child's hands (doing the activity) but even those came back from the tutor having been disallowed due to the constrictions on photos so I too would be questioning why they want the photo and also refering them back to their tutor for confirmation of what photos they are allowed to take?

Guest Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Many thanks for your replies and advice - I have refused permission to the student who says that she can take photos of displays instead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Many thanks for your replies and advice - I have refused permission to the student who says that she can take photos of displays instead! Are there children's photographs on these displays? I imagine you have some kind of policy covering the storage of photographs of children and so on, and the use of mobiles within the setting, so whatever she does will have to comply with those in any case. Our University has reiterated that our learners are not to include photographs either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
